The two parts of storyboarding:

The challenge of storyboarding is two fold:

Step 1 - Breaking down the scene.

Breaking the scene down means deciding which shots will be filmed. For each shot, you must decide the camera angle, the camera lens, the camera movement, the actor's movements. At the same time, you must decide the flow of the story from shot to shot.

Step 2 - Drawing the pictures.

Once you have made these decisions, you must draw thumbnail storyboards to communicate this information to me and the rest of our jolly crew who will work on your movie. We don't know what you are thinking unless you draw us a picture.

Send me your thumbnail storyboard frames.

When you are finished, send me your individual storyboard frames. I will create the storyboard for you.

Be sure to let me know what you are doing. You can email me by Clicking Here.

This project turns Tux Paint into a storyboarding program for narrative filmmaking. This course shows you how to create special stamps which turn Tux Paint into a very simple storyboarding program similar to Storyboard Quick] and Storyboard Artist.

Tux Paint is a fun drawing program for kids. It allows kids to add pictures called "Stamps" to their artwork. Storyboard Quick and Storyboard Artist also uses stamps to draw storyboards but, unlike Tux Paint, these programs are not free. These special stamps are pictures of people in various poses, viewed from many different angles. Storyboard Quick uses hand drawn pictures of people while Storyboard Artist uses 2D pictures from Poser.

Anyone who likes to draw figures or is learning to use Poser or DAZ Studio can participate. All you have to do is create poses of people viewed from many different angles. The first two pages of instructions are up. Click here to take a look! Then email me! Robert Elliott
